Reduced Mussel Sampling

In 2007, mussel tissue sampling was reduced from twice per year to annual wet-seasonindex period, optimizing resources while maintaining data quality.

Stream Sampling Adjustments

Beginning in 2006, CCLEAN’s monthly sampling of 10 coastal streams was discontinued following the implementation of monthly sampling by the Central Coast Water Board as part of its Coastal Confluences Ambient Monitoring Program (CCAMP).
